• Our goal for the BMP/RSS elementary school's physical education

program is to prepare our students to experience a life full of activity. Through our curriculum students are exposed to a large variety of activities they can participate in. For our younger students we emphasize noncompetitive skill development and active participation. As our students progress throughout the program, we introduce friendly competition with a strong emphasis on sportsmanship and cooperative play.

• Throughout the year our second and third grade students are exposed to

twenty units including: Circus Arts, Aerobic Drumming, Fitness, Ball Handling, Adaptive Games/ Creating Connection and many more!

• Mission Statement

– The mission of the 9th Grade Curriculum is to develop a depth and breadth of knowledge and skills across the lifetime activity, sports, games, and fitness pursuits. This course will give the opportunity to increase confidence and competence in a low risk environment. Individual and small group activities will lead to greater self-efficacy and mastery of skills taught to students. This class will have a wide variety of exposure to different sports, games, and lifetime activities to prepare them for more individualized activities later in their high school tenure. – The students will have opportunities and experiences that engage and challenge them to assess, explore, discover, question, apply, adapt, and evaluate learning. Through these experiences, students will possess the skills needed to be physically literate members of

• society. An increase in student motivation, self-efficacy, and

knowledge of available community resources will allow students to continue their participation in activities outside of school.
